There is plenty of space to sled, build snowmen, and just enjoy the beautiful snowy scenery. The river flowing by is very beautiful especially covered in snow. The park is well maintained, with clean bathrooms conveniently located nearby, which is always a plus when you're out with kids. If you have a dog, it's a great place for a walk, too. It was very snow covered so I was able to just go into the tennis courts and let my dog run around off leash. There are poop bags free of charge available so please use them when out and about with your dog. Parking was plentiful, so there's no stress about finding a spot. Whether you're here for some winter activities or just a stroll, Truckee River Regional Park has something for everyone.

I forgot to take pictures...I'm sorry...I was so excited they were here!…read more Annnnd....I forgot! My bad I'll be back to buy some more awesome discs at a fantastic price! Okay, Short review. Superduper awesomeness in a store the size of my bathroom! I will be coming here for discs! Also, even if you don't need a disc, he has ice creams and water and all kinds of iced beverages...plus some hot stuff like coffee! Highly recommend! Maybe I'll meet you up here! ...cause I'll be back (frequently) Longer review... Decided today's PE class for the kids was going to be Dad related. So, Disc Golf time! Let's go for a three mile hike and throw stuff! I just, last night, found out that someone started a DG pro shop here, so, yup, PE for the day! He had a massive collection of discs! He also had some loners too! I thought that was super awesome! So I just started tossing money at him. Some bullet points... -He has some great prices on discs! -A HUGE selection of discs! -Tons of snacks and ice cold beverages (even if you aren't interested in Disc Golf) -Great customer service! -Knows quite a bit about discs! Thanks so much for being here! See you again soon! Keep it up!

The Donner Ski Ranch Disc Golf Course is an 18 hole public disc golf course located next to the…read moreDonner Ski Ranch. I recently came here on a date with someone who is into disc golf. We parked in the ski ranch parking lot for free, and then I believe we signed some waivers at the nearby Old 40 Bar and Grill. From there, the disc golf course is just up the hill on the other side of the parking lot. What I loved most about this course was that walking around it felt so much like hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail in Donner, which makes sense, since that's only a few miles away. The holes were nestled up in groves of tall trees. We had plenty of privacy, since there was only one other couple playing the course at the same time as us. On our way around the course, we saw two alpine lakes, and walked right by the tops of the ski lifts. The views were unbeatable. This was my first time playing disc golf, and I wasn't great at it, but I still had a good time. Honestly, throwing a frisbee into a basket isn't as appealing to me as going hiking is, anyway. There were plenty of signs directing us where to go, and we had an easy way finding our way around the course. Overall, this is a moderately challenging course with spectacular scenery.

Be sure to follow the written driving directions on the website - google maps will take you on dirt roads. Don't count on using your cell phone - poor or no reception. Bring all of your needs - no stores in the park or near by. The Visitor Center does sell ice and wood. They only take cash. Great Visitor Center - a museum of mining and relics from the town. They have brochures and some souvenirs. North Bloomfield is population 7 now. The park rangers are very helpful - Sue was awesome. Lots of trails to hike. Really liked the Slaughterhouse and Blair trails. We'll maintained campground. Grill / fire pits, Bear Lockers, trash bins. The bathrooms were a pleasant surprise - running water, nice toilets, toilet paper, seat covers, paper towels and soap dispensers. No lights.

I recently spent a few nights at Malakoff Diggins, and it was really nice…read more If you're going there, make sure to read the directions on their website, or you'll end up going eight miles down a dirt road for no reason, like I did. The correct way is to take 49 to Tyler Foote, NOT North Bloomfield (although Tyler Foote eventually takes you to the paved end of that road). The drive into the park is beautiful. The gold tails almost look like sand dunes, and, on my drive in, the pools between them had turned interesting colors of green due to Mineral discharge. All of the staff was great, from the rangers to the maintenance to the museum host. The campsites themselves are fairly large and well spaced, as compared to somewhere like Yosemite. There is about a fifty foot walk through brush to get from the parking space to the site. Reservations can be made online at least two days in advance. I noticed that they still have a lot open for this summer, including in two of the three cabins (which are located in the old town area). There are several trails in the park, but they are all short. An avid hiker could easily cover them all in one day. Malakoff Diggins is essentially a wasteland of where a forest used to be. You don't really go there to enjoy the beauty of nature as much as to see how much humans have destroyed it. Where there used to be whole mountains, there are now miles of cliffs washed away due to hydraulic gold mining. You can also see this in lots of other places in Northern California, including Folsom. Where there used to be a valley, there are now mounds of rocks half as tall as the adjacent mountains. It's weird because you can tell that a lot of the redwoods are buried, and you are hiking by their tops. The Valley itself was so miserable with mosquitoes that I was inspired to buy my first mosquito net. Lemon Eucalyptus was not enough. Deet was not enough. My favorite hike through the park was at the end of the rim trail, where I found some really big pine cones and ancient looking manzanitas. I think this park is great for kids, especially for showing them the gold mining ghost town or the effects of gold mining. For adults who are super into hiking, this probably won't be your new favorite park. I enjoyed the beauty that was still left, the nice shaded campsites, and the fact that I was able to make reservations about a week ahead of time.

The park has 2 separate fenced areas with slides and other fun things for the kiddos. I noticed there is several public restrooms throughout the park There is also a renovated baseball field inside the park. There is a pond and most of the walking trails are pretty flat and easy to walk. I love to come here and throw a Frisbee or just chill under one of the massive trees that are all around the park.
